North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has a group of teenage girls who follow him wherever he goes to serve his needs, according to recent reports.
The Mirror claims the practice, which began with former leader and Kim's father Kim Jong Il, involves a group of girls known as the "Gippeumjo," or Pleasure Squad.

The girls are reportedly taken from their schools and examined by a doctor to ensure their virginity, and eventually end up in the group that follows Kim around.

The girls are not always called on for sex, but the Mirror reports that it does occur. Some of the girls being taken for Kim's group are as young as 13.

Another report in Chosun Ilbo, which provides news about the Korean peninsula, said maids within the group are paid $2,000 and given home appliances. Girls who entertain Kim reportedly receive $4,000.

A UPI story this week, meanwhile, claimed Kim launches missiles when he is upset about the United States' policy toward the socialist country. North Korea conducted a failed launch of two missiles this week.
